Starting from the film of Marcel Broodthaers writing a poem in the rain, the OKAN pupils worked on the theme 'language'. They looked at different works of art, discussed with each other and made their own alphabet.

From the beginning of 2021 several S.M.A.K. guides visited OKAN classes in Ghent. The pupils were introduced to our collection with a focus on language. Starting from Marcel Broodthaers trying to write a poem in the rain, the pupils examined the possibilities and difficulties of learning a new language.

We are often shy about speaking a new language because we are afraid of making mistakes. But aren't our crafted sentences just as beautiful as a collage? At the end of the workshop, all pupils drew a letter that they found visually interesting.

In cooperation with Education Centre Ghent (Onderwijscentrum Gent) and OKAN education.
